Patent CA-2455699-A1 (CA)
Inventor: CAMPAU DANIEL N
IPC: F16L37/098
Filed: 2004-01-23
Abstract: The present invention is directed to a connector, comprising a first connector segment having a laterally extending flange, and a second connector segment having a body and a pair of opposed retainers adapted to releaseably maintain the first and second connector segments in mated relationship. Each of the retainers has a lever spaced laterally from the second connector segment body, the lever being joined to the second connector segment, body at a base end and having a latch at a free end. The lever is also joined to the second connector segment body by a fulcrum wall positioned intermediate the ends of the lever, an outwardly facing cam surface is provided on the lever between the fulcrum wall and the base end. A slide ring is disposed over the second connector segment retainers, the slide ring being moveable from a first position adjacent the latch of each retainer to a second position of engagement with the cam surface of each retainer. The latch of each retainer is engageable with the flange of the first connector segment to prevent uncoupling of the first and second connector segments. The latches of each retainer are locked in engagement with the first connector segment flange when the slide ring is in the first position, and the latches of each retainer are disengaged from the first connector segment flange to thereby permit uncoupling of the connector segments when the slide ring is in the second position.

Title: Adjustable form
Inventor: KOTYUK MARK D
IPC: C21C5/44
Filed: 2004-02-10
Abstract: The apparatus of the present invention comprises an adjustable form adapted for use in creating a refractory lining in a metallurgical vessel. The form includes a substructure defined by a plurality of struts and braces covered on its exterior perimeter by a plurality of panels. A plurality of connectors permits variation of the substructures exterior perimeter. The panels are secured to the substructure so that alteration of the shape of the substructure causes the affected panels to slide over one another. Advantageously, the panels remain free of fasteners or other protrusions, thereby facilitating removal of the apparatus from the vessel after the lining has hardened.

Abstract: La présente invention concerne un dispositif de collecte de données conçu pour obtenir des informations tridimensionnelles par balayage ultrasonique d'une portion de l'aorte abdominale. Plusieurs éléments transducteurs sont disposés de manière à constituer une couverture par chevauchement. Le dispositif de collecte de données est d'abord positionné au-dessus l'aorte par un opérateur; un balayage unidimensionnel, réalisé au moyen d'un générateur de son à effet doppler appliqué sur le débit sanguin, est utilisé pour vérifier le positionnement initial correct du dispositif. Les informations tridimensionnelles sont ensuite obtenues puis converties de coordonnées planes en coordonnées sphériques, de telle sorte que les plans des lignes de balayage convertis soient perpendiculaires à l'aorte. Les informations contenues dans chaque plan de lignes de balayage sont ensuite traitées afin de déterminer les limites de l'aorte, à partir desquelles des informations relatives au diamètre sont ensuite calculées. Des mesures de diamètres sur une région données de l'aorte peuvent être utilisées pour déterminer et contrôler un anévrisme de l'aorte.

Abstract: A once-a-day oral milnacipran pulsatile release composition has been develop ed that releases the drug in spaced apart "pulses". The dosage forms are comprised of first, second and optional third dosage units, with each dosage unit having a different drug release profile. This dosage form provides in vivo drug plasma levels characterized by Cmax below 3000 ng/ml, preferably below 2000 ng/ml, and most preferably below 1000 ng/ml. These levels help to avoid stimulation of the cholinergic effects on the CNS. The composition allows milnacipran to be delivered over approximately 24 hours, when administered to a patient in need, resulting in diminished incidence or decreased intensity of common milnacipran side effects such as sleep disturbance, nausea, vomiting, headache, tremulousness, anxiety, panic attacks, palpitations, urinary retention, orthostatic hypotension, diaphoresis, chest pain, rash, weight gain, back pain, constipation, vertigo , increased sweating, agitation, hot flushes, tremors, fatigue, somnolence, dyspepsia, dysoria, nervousness, dry mouth, abdominal pain, irritability, an d insomnia.
